According to the past practice of replacing the board-owned buses on an eight-year cycle where the vehicles' condition warranted such replacement, the board committee felt it would be necessary to replace two buses. In addition, the growth being experienced in the expanded town of Wasaga Beach and surrounding areas indicate the need for an additional bus, the report stated. The new buses will most likely see service in the Collingwood and Wasaga Beach area, where the board operates its own buses. The cheque, in the amount of $141,600, came not only as a surprise, but also six years after the Ministry of Education had promised that the money would be paid to the board. Frank Prothero heads Simcoe Board again that the board had a "ten- dency to dwell on money matters which is quite in order, but the present turn- down in the economy, which in my opinion is just beginning, should level off our need for new and ad- ditional buildings." He expressed the hope that the board in 1975 "will be able to evaluate the more basic, or human, side of responsibilities,' referring to the board's studies in special education, moral education, and what is referred to by some as the proliferation of courses in secondary schools. Board gets *141,600 surprise In 1968, the former Midland-Penetanguishene High School Board hired a firm of architects to draft plans for the construction of a second high school for Midland -- before the plans were okayed by the Ontario Municipal Board or the Ministry of Education. Considerable expenses were incurred. When the Simcoe County Board of Education was formed, the plans for a new school were scrapped. Instead an addition to Midland Secondary School was planned. The province deducted the amount of the former board's debt, approximately $150,000, from its grant to the board for the addition to MSS. At that time, the board felt it unreasonable to expect the taxpayers to be saddled with a debt incurred by another board. "Td almost given up on it," said Midland trustee John McCullough. ---- Griffin back for winter duty The money will be put in the board's capital account.
